A series of light installations & sculptures made from rejected & recycled PET bottles.

The Artist: Lisa Foo

Fascination with bioluminescence in the abyss,It’s a deep blue world we landlubbers rarely see.Mystical realm that most of us have given a miss.Yet, amazing creatures rule the dark depths of the mighty sea!

In response to the problem of plastic waste in our environment, each part in thousands of plastic drinking water (PET) bottles is transformed into individual light sculptures and an installation. The idea of maintaining the inherent quality of the material and employing low-embodied energy in the process of transformation is emphasized when recycling these PET bottles. In the same spirit of reduction, these sculptures also consume less energy by using energy saving lamps and LEDs.

About this Blog

This blog was originally started with the intention to feature our 'green' initiative in creating awesome and fascinating lighting sculptures using all parts of the plastic mineral water bottles. We hope to inspire people from all walks of life to view and re-think about using plastics in a different manner instead of just treating it as waste.Selected artists of interest will also be featured on this blog to provide a wider range of artistic ideas from different fields.
